Former KORN Guitarist Responds To JONATHAN DAVIS' 'False Crusade' Remark
- Mar. 14, 2005
|
|
Former KORN guitarist Brian "Head" Welch has defended himself against accusations by KORN singer Jonathan Davis that he has embarked on a "false crusade" by leaving the band to focus on Christianity. In an e-mail sent to MTV News, Welch said he still loves his KORN brethren, but that he was beginning to bristle at those who doubt the sincerity of his transformation. "Sorry Jonathan, my 'false crusade' was not the reason I left KORN, it was what saved my life," Welch wrote. "I still love those guys to death, but if anybody trashes God, I am human and will defend Him and myself by any means necessary." Welch's solo CD is close to being completed, and he added that he's just finished one instrumental track called "A Letter to Dimebag", which he wrote in tribute to the late guitar legend. "It's a guitar-solo instrumental," he explained, according to MTV News. "I wrote it for Dimebag because he always used to tell Munky and I to put guitar solos in KORN's music." Another track which may or may not get released is — as Welch described it — "a personal letter to 50 CENT from God." "The Big Guy speaks through me a lot when I write, and I have a song for 50 CENT I wrote in the Holy Land. I feel like it's a personal letter to 50 from God, so I'm going to give it to him personally and see what his reaction is," Welch wrote to MTV News. "If it's a positive reaction and he's willing to talk to me, then I'm not gonna release it, but if the reaction is not positive, I'm going to share it with the world." (Thanks: Chris M)

What it boils down to is that religous fanaticism is completely incongruos with anything cool. Especially rock music.
Rock music came out of the rebelliousness of having been supressed by religous fanatics.

I hope this is all a joke. But, if not, it looks like god is sending him on a suicide mission to 50 cent. Maybe its god's way of calling his representative on earth back to him. Why the fuck cant god ever speak for himself? Is he just not a good public speaker? Why doesnt he pick better people to be his mouthpiece? Like Jenny Mccarthy or Jenna Jameson? I still wouldnt believe them, but I'd really like to fuck them.

I think Head did do the solo for "Another Brick in the Wall" and did a decent job.
Head was a meth addict and an alcoholic. He didn't need God, all he needed was rehab.
Its sort of sad when your band says that they will go on without you and not seek a replacement. That essentially means your contribution was pretty small, or they don't want to extend the Korn checks to anyone else

Religion is just something to make people feel better about dying and about being alone.
I think it's funny what addiction does to the human psyche. You get all whacked out on drugs to the point that you need them to make you feel normal. Then you have a moment of clarity when you realize that you're an addict so you stop doing drugs. Then the withdrawl does an even more damaging trick to what's left of your thought patterns and you end up clinging to the church because that's the one place where you can be completely whacked out of your head and still be accepted by mainstream society. Weak. This fellow makes me sick

I don't listen to rap, I listen to hip-hop, the difference being the music and lyrics are equally important in hip-hop. And get this, I'm not ashamed of it, because I happen to believe its good. I definitely don't hide my hip-hop CD's from my girlfriend. However what my taste in music has to do with the content of my post is beyond me. You take constructive criticism the same way a 10 year old does. "I know you are but what am I?" That's pretty pathetic.
Nobody believes you don't know who 50 Cent is. By the time you posted there were more than enough comments to make it obvious, comments you must have read to notice that nobody responded to you. So whatever, all I'm saying is it looks bad when you make a bad joke twice because nobody responds the first time. It becomes a worse joke the second time. That's just a general statement thats got nothing to do with music or musical taste. I didn't feel the need to be rude or personal...I didn't even direct it at anyone in particular, so really you're just acknowledging how bad your joke was. I'm just trying to help you out, cause I'd be embarrassed if I sounded like I was 12. Just look at the title: "Someone tell me if I guessed right." If that's not screaming for attention, I don't know what is. That's on par with wearing corpse paint to high school and cutting your arms up so people will ask how you got the scars.
How many months ago was it that you said you were no longer going to spend so much time complaining about what music other people like and listen to? You defended Linkin Park on that thread. I'm defending a handful of legit hip-hop artists. Linkin Park isn't a legit anything. So hey, if you can live with defending Linkin Park, don't worry about me, I've got no problem living with my defense of Aesop Rock.

SERIOUS COMMENT: Rap (hip-hop, whatever you want to call it) sucks ass, and the ridiculous immature "ghetto" names they go by are stupid. The "hahahaha" was only meant to illustrate how absurd it is.
Understand?
By the way, I stand by my defense of Linkin Park and the like because they play actual instruments... not just a drum machine, turntable, and microphone.
The real question is why do you care so much what I think of rap?

You are just showing your ignorance and closed-mindedness. It's funny when someone gets so worked up about ebonics. It's almost like the joke is on them. Way to go.
